One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete.
Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it.
Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
Santa Fe Nachos from @micorazonmexicangrill. Yes there were chips under that huge pile of toppings! The interior is really beautiful with great murals. #nhdining #mexicanfood #nachos #nhfoodie #603eats #nheats #ediblenh #nhflavors
Yesterday was my 47th birthday and also our 21st wedding anniversary so we went out to eat! We tried @stashboxnh on Elm St and it was fantastic. Religion & Politics is the name of the cocktail and it has mezcal, so you know I’m a fan. Great place and we both agreed we’ll be back!
